October 2023 - Sketch suggestions (Patreon)

How do sketch suggestions work? Patrons suggest or support characters, and at the end of the suggestion period, the character with the most points gets sketched.

How does my suggestion gain or lose points? Every time a character is suggested in a sketch suggestions post, it gains a point. By being supported, a suggestion also gains a point per support. A suggestion is considered abandoned if it doesn't appear in consecutive Sketch suggestion posts.

How do I suggest a character? Name your character and their source material, aswell as the size at which you'd like me to draw them. Example: "Zina from Log Myu at plus size". Suggesting a character prevents you from supporting one.

Which characters can be suggested? Sketch suggestions are more restrictive than other suggestions, but the general rule remains the same: any character that you deem worthy, with the exception of OCs, can be suggested. In case of doubt, feel free to ask! Also, please note that the same character can be suggested multiple times at different sizes.

Why are sketch suggestions more restrictive? Polls normally act as a form of validation, and I abide by the rule "if the community thinks that character should win, then it can be drawn". Because there is no such filter with sketch suggestions, I may decline suggestions involving certain characters (such as controversial characters or immature/underaged characters for whom an age-up would make no sense).

What are the available size categories? To visualize the four sizes more properly (Chubby, Plus Size, Super Size, Ultra Size), take a look at this reference sheet:

How can I support a suggestion? If you don't intend to suggest a character yourself, you can support the character suggested by another patron either by replying to their suggestion and commenting one way or another that you support it, or by suggesting the same character at the same size. Supporting a character will grant it an extra point per support.

What about ties? When a tie happens between one or more suggestions, this is how the character to sketch is determined:
- the amount of points prevails, or
- the character that has never been drawn prevails, or
- the oldest suggestion prevails, or
- the most supported suggestion prevails, or
- the seniority of the oldest suggesting or supporting patron prevails.

Can the sketches be colored? Yes, a sketch can be upgraded into a fully colored drawing by winning an Upgrade poll.

Suggestions can be added until October 11th. I'll announce which sketch will be drawn the following day.
